Higher Education
105. College Tuition and Student Loan Reform
College costs are out of control, and reform is urgently needed. We support freezing public spending on higher education until waste and administrative costs are reduced, and we support withholding public funding to state institutions that violate or promote the violation of state law. We support implementation of the following reforms:
a) We call for the Texas Legislature to freeze tuition and fees at state colleges and universities.
b) We oppose mass cancellation of student loan obligations. We call upon Congress to end the federal student loan program.
c) We support requiring universities to eliminate tuition set-asides and any other programs that redistribute the costs of education among students or charge students different tuition rates based on household income.
d) We oppose in-state tuition and financial aid for illegal aliens and support the elimination of the TEXAS grant.
e) We support limiting international undergraduate and graduate student enrollment at Texas colleges and universities to no more than 5% of the student body. We support a total prohibition on students who are members of the Chinese Communist Party
